1925*

Due to the fact that he is with the Navy, Jack Reeder has had to give up his post as Class Agent. Curt Abel has taken over and it is expected that he will be as able and capable as his predecessors. The post of Class Agent is about as difficult a job as the conventional one involving melted butter, a red hot awl and a wild cat. But under Cult's leadership the Class should come through in good shape.

Them as likes to read books will be interested to know that Charley Haywood has written "No Ship May Sail" a story of blockade-running around 1808. You can get it for two bux from the Nichols-Ellis Press of Lynn, Mass.

Lou Kimball is out of the hospital and is in good shape again.

Governor Saltonstall of Massachusetts has named our Frankie (The Sled) Wallis one of a commission of five lawyers for a "Survey of Methods of Assessing Damages in Actions for Death."

Nice things are being said about Max Emerson's work as Post Quartermaster at Fort Devens. The job is said to demand untiring energy, ingenuity, tact and ability to get things done day before yesterday.

From the typewriter of Stub Dwinnell has come "A Junior Work Camp in a Yankee Community," a pamphlet on a work camp near Torrington, Connecticut, where Stub was director.

Harold Rider has been elected head of the Stamford, Connecticut Community Chest.

Dave Burner of Decatur, Illinois, is placing John Hancock Insurance where it will earn him an honest dollar and pointing the two Burner boys, Dave and Jim for Dartmouth. He is looking forward to the Twentieth, provided there is any shoe leather left then. Dave doesn't figure there will be any rubber three years hence.

Syd Batchelder of Alstead took a dive from the roof, didn't do his spine any good and was laid up for a couple of months this winter. He did a unique and smart thing when he wrote and had published in the local paper a good poem thanking his friends for their many favors while he was laid up.

Church Bacon is punching away steadily in the mortgage business, acting as correspondent in Greater Cleveland for a number of old line life insurance companies. It will be recalled that Church married young and his girl is fifteen and the boy twelve, so idle time is not on his hands.

From South Bend, Indiana, came an announcement that on the twenty-first day of March, Doris Kendall became the bride of Elmer Richards.

How many of you noted that picture of Cliff Hill in the January 5 issue of Life? Look on page 58 and if that ain't our Cliff, why somebody ought to be run in for impersonating him. The picture is used in an article "Washington Goes to War."

Doctor John Spring of Nashua says that he met Chet Eaton vacationing at Harwichport on Cape Code this past summer. They went deep sea fishing and did all right by themselves.

Nort Canfield was scheduled to talk early in April down in Roanoke, Virginia, on "Fundamentals of Sound with a View of the Physical Principles Involved in Sound Perception." It is alleged that Nort is very well regarded in his field.

The Larry Leavitts were hosts to the Pete Raffenreffers this winter at Vermont Academy.

Hal Whitney of Marlboro, New Hampshire is kept busy figgering how to get around shortages of just about everything in the toy business.

They ain't much happened here sence the last writing. Spring has snuk up on us real nice. I went to Hanover on April 15 and give my lecture on how them dear old pioneers used to perforate the Indians and each other.

The mud, brook trout, barn dance and tourist season is opening up fast. I think that I hev found a 1925 Mercer for our 20th. Cant nobuddy get hold of a genuine Model T, 1925, Ford and strip it down like what we used to drive? That really would be something for the Class to have for reunions, provided we can keep them Blodgetts away from it.

Secretary, Center Ossipee, N. H. Class Agent, 45 Prospect PL, Apt. 1804, New York City
